Police confiscated 14 kilos of marijuana when they arrested two suspected drug dealers following a cross-border chase on Wednesday afternoon.

Luxembourg officers were mobilised when their Belgian counterparts in Arlon called in a suspicious vehicle about to cross into the Grand Duchy.

Several patrols were deployed, including a police helicopter to trace the vehicle. A car matching the description was eventually found at around 6.15pm in Rue Mamer, close to the railway crossing in Bertrange.

Its two occupants were stopped and arrested. In addition to the large stash of marijuana, police seized mobile phones and money.
